Solution

The correct option is C 100m,100ms1
The equation of given transverse wave is y=0.05sinπ(2t0.02x) .......(1)
On comparing (1) with y=Asin(wtkx)
We get, k=0.02π and w=2π
Wave velocity v=wk=2π0.02π=100 m/s
Minimum distance of separation between two particles which are in phase is equal to the wavelength of the wave.
Wavelength λ=2πk=2π0.02π=100 m
